ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA USA -- JoAnn Nelson-Hooks announces the launch of her virtual assistance service, Virtually…Your Office!, a cost-efficient staffing remedy in today’s tough economic climate where, unfortunately, businesses are increasingly laying off employees. While downsizing helps with cost-containment, it also often forces business owners to handle and often become deluged with burdensome administrative tasks that distract them from business improvement planning and profit-making. Some owners actually lose money by placing so much focus on these necessary but time-consuming administrative tasks.
Well informed business owners, however, know that successful businesses need a strong administrative base. In light of their dwindling staff and dollars, some are turning to virtual assistance as the solution to their administrative needs. Virtually…Your Office! aims to be the foundation and solution for business owners. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Virtually…Your Office! provides services designed to help clients become more productive and save money; freeing them from time-consuming administrative tasks so they can better concentrate on creativity and business growth. Owner and Virtual Assistant JoAnn Nelson-Hooks believes firmly that “Virtual assistance is an extremely useful and necessary tool that saves time and money for small business owners; especially in today’s economic climate.” She further states that “Although some business owners have learned the value of virtual assistance, too many of them are still unfamiliar with it and fail to exploit its value.”
For those unfamiliar with virtual assistance, the Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANW) offers a definition. VANW’s definition informs that, “Virtual Assistants are highly-trained independent entrepreneurs who provide a myriad of business support services virtually via phone, fax and internet based technology to support and meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide.” In keeping with that definition, Virtually…Your Office!, executes various electronic tasks, including administrative and creative services, while also reducing client stress, protecting their cash flows, eliminating administrative hassles, and enabling business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve.
Clients realize significant savings by contracting with Virtually…Your Office because they don’t have to pay for office space, equipment, benefits, employment taxes or the other costs associated with hiring permanent employees. Also, for their money, clients get 100% productive time as opposed to potential time and money wasted with onsite staff chats around the water cooler. With Virtually…Your Office!, if clients contract for one hour of work, they will get and pay only for one hour of time-tracked work output. Because clients pay only for and get 100% of talent and service for their dollars, this makes virtual assistance generally, and contracting with Virtually…Your Office! specifically, a true value.
Business owners seeking to save time, money, and increase their productivity need to contract with competent virtual assistants and Nelson-Hooks states that she “fits that bill very well.” One client, Michelle L. Brown, M.Ed, raved that Nelson-Hooks recently saved her “five hours of editing and formatting time on a lengthy PowerPoint training presentation.”
